provide a lamp of this character of a simple and inexpensive nature and of an improvedconstruetion, rendering the device stronger, more durable, and better adapted for cleaning, lighting, and repair.

, The invention consistsin certain novel features of the construction, combination, and

arrangement of the several parts of the im-- proved lamp whereby certain important advantages are'attained and the device is made simpler, cheaper, and otherwise better adapted and more convenient for use, all as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

The novel features of the invention will be carefully defined in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, which serve.

Fig. 19 is an enlarged sectional detail View taken through the franicfwhich carries the dome in the plane indicatdpby-thc lino h h in Fig. 13. Fig. 20 is an enlarged sectional detail View taken vertically through lhe hood and showing the detailed construction thereolf. Fig. 21 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional View showing the catch for holding the wind-guard incloscd position.

In the views, 1 indicates the base of the lam having-screws 2 for attachment to the upper endof a post orother support and provided at its upper part with other screws 3 for holding the gas-pipe in proper relation a sectional view similar to Fig.123, but taken through the hingewhich connects the dome .to the crown of the lamp, thcplane of the within thev base for connection with the.

burner. The base 1 also has bolts 4, by means of which the lower ends ofthesupportingarms 5 of the lamp are ctmncctmlthereto. The arms or supports dare uszially four in number, and they extend up above the top of the base and are spread apa'rl'.,n.s clear] y shown in Fig; 1', to aifordsp'ace between them for the reception ofthe lamp-globe. The upper ends of saidsupports 5 are threaded for-en-- gageinent withthe crown H, which is of annular formandhas arais'wl outer rim 7, to

which is connected, by a hinge 8, the Iw-une fl whereon is supported the dome 10. Above the dome is supported by suitable means a hood or canopy 11.

The hinge 8 employed for connecting the,

17 indicates an antivibratory support for the lam p-burner, and 18 represents the burner supported thereon and provided with an incandescent mantle 19. The antiwibratory support 17, as herein shown, is supported above the gas-cock 13 upon a short pipe-section 18 (see Fig. 4) of just suificient length to pass through the globe-support 14 and afford connection between the cock 'and support 17, the said lamp-support having a cupshaped body 18 into which said pipe-section screws. The body 18 is provided with a projecting flange l9 around its upper part,.on which is held, by means of a washer or annulus 20, a flexible gas'tight diaphragm 21, the central part of which has a gas-tight connection with a plug 22, extended down from the burner-fitting 23. The body, as seen in Figs. 7 and 8, has at suitable points'projecting lugs 25, formed with vertical openings 26, the upper ends of which receive screws 24 for holdingthe washer or annulus 20 in place, while the lower ends receive other screws 28, by means of which spring-arms 27 are connected at their lower ends to the lower part of the body, the upper ends of said springs being secured to the burner-fitting23. The springs are divergent and serve to sustain the burner-fitting and burner carried thereon above the body of thesupport, while the diaphragm itself maintains a gas-tight connection between theburner-fitting and the body 18 while permitting free vibration of the burner-fitting relative to saidbody.

The globe-s11 pport 14 has a central opening for the passage of the pipe-section 18, and surrounding said opening the support is formed with an annular raised bearing 29.

The support is also formed with a semicircular air-inlet opening 30, adapted for the pas.

. sage of a torch for use in lighting the burner.

This opening is adapted to be covered by a wind-guard formed of. a semicircular metal frame 31, as seen in Fig. 6, said frame having a bearingpart 32 to receive and turn on the annular bearing 29 of the support 14. The

frame 31 is of greater radiusthan the opem ing 30, so. that the edges of said frame rest on the support outside the opening to accommodate the windguard for turning movement npon'the support concentrically with ,respect to the pipe-section 18 to cover or uncover the opening 30. The frame 31 is cut out, as seen at 33, at its central part, and over it is held a foraminons plate 35, secured by rivets 34 or the like and adapted for the passage of suificient air to support combustion at the lamp-burner,- but designed to offer enough resistance to the entry of gusts of air or wind to prevent the lamp from flickering or being blown out. The frame 31 is provided at opposite sides with upwardly-extended guide-pins 36, whereon is guided for movement toward and away from the plate 35 a regulator-plate 37, of flat metal, adapted when adjusted nearer to or farther from said perforated .plate .35 to regulate the entry of air into the globe, 'so as to permit of adjusting the wind -gua'rd to 'difierent' locations where it is necessary to regulate the device to provide for more or less exposed positions. A spring 38 is arranged between the plates 35 and'37, being bent up and notched, as seen at 39, at its ends for engagement with the guide-pins 36, by which it is held in place and having a central opening 39 through which passes a screw 40, the head of which, as show u in Figs. '3 and G, is held to turn on the frame 31, while the threaded part of the screw has engagement with the regulator plate 37. Thus it will be seen that when the screw 40 is turned the plate 37 will be adjusted toward ICC To hold the wind-guard in closed position when the opening30 in the globe-support 14 is covered, I provide the frame 31 with a projecting part adapted to extend over .the top IIO of the support at one side of the opening when the guard is'in closed position, as shown in Fig. 21. This projecting part is provided with a downwardly-extended pin 31, adapted to take into a recess or opening 3O in the windguard adjacent to the'o Jening 30. The windguard has a handle 31 extended down from the frame 31 and-by means of which it may 'be conveniently moved, and in order to permit the pin 31 to automatically enter the recess in the support when the wind-guard is moved into closed position I make the edge of opening 30 adjacent to said recess 30 beveled or inclined. with its recess, it is necessary to slightly lift the wind-guard in order to disengagesaid pin and permit of openingthe guard. The proportion of the parts is such thatthe regulator-plate 37 normally 'is upheld. by its spring 38 against the under side of the antivibratory burner-support, so that the catch-pin is there- 'When' the catch-pin is engaged by held securely engaged'with its recess, ex-

cept the wind-guardbe lifted in order to uncover the opening 30.

' pipe at the lamp;basejl,, and-said easing has atone side a slushingopeningj t'l, closed by a pha 43 indicates v end a lever 44, the ends of which are formed 7 into hooks '45, adapt'ed tobe' engaged bya projection from. the ,lighterstorch', so as ,to

permit of readily operating the 'cQek to turn on orcntoffthegas. v On the casing are lugs 46, suitably spaced 5 apart and provided with screws 47 the tips o5 which are adapted to be engaged by a pin 0 projection 48 on the plug insuch a wayas to limit the movement of'said plug for turn-- ing on or cutting oi? the gas, and said screws :being capable of'adj ustment permit the move- 'ments of the cock to he very conveniently regulated.

Within'th e casing the pi'ug'tetas a-gas passage 49 formed through it, one end of said passage being expanded or made oval, as shown at 50', The smaller end of the passage 49 is adapted for communication with the passage leadi'ng'from the pipe at the lampbase 1, while the larger end' 50 l o"f' said passage is adapted'for communication with two gasways in the casingnamely, the passage 51, leading to the main "burner 18, and the passage 53, formedin an arm 52,-extended from one side of the casing and carrying the auxiliary burner or pilot-lighttube 54, the boreof which is in communication with the pass ag'e,53. The passage 49 has its smaller end always in communication-with the gassupply; but when the gas is'turned'ofi" from the main burner, the plug being then in the corresponding stop or screw 47 the plug may, if desired, be still further turned, so as'to' completely close the smaller end of passage position shown in Figs. 9 and 10,'the passage 49 is very nearly closediat its'sinaller end, so that but a'very-slight volume of gas may pass through it, and by a proper adjustment ofthe' 49 an d entirelyeuto ff the' flow of 'gas through the sam e. Inthis position of" the cock-plug the larger end 5O of passage 491s in commu-' nication with the passage 5d for the pilotlight, so t-hata small supply of. gas may flow thereto'to keep thepilOt-light burning when the main bn-rner;is-eitinguished. "-When the plug is turnedto"'supply' gas to the main- ,burn'er, the first, operation-is to fully open the smaller end of the pa ssa'g'e 49, so as to allow a -greater supply of gas to-flow through the said passage, and this increased supply goes to the pilot-light, so as to cause the same to flame up and burn with a jet of suflici'ent length to ignite the gas which later is supplied to the main burner. The further'mo'vement of theeoelc-plng serves to bring the 6X' panded end 50 of passage 49 into'commun-t cation with passage51, leading '10 the main burner, and at the same time to gradually reduce the supply of gas to he' pilot-light until, when the plugshall haveassum'ed the position shown in Fig..-. 11, the pin 48 being I a be a j thelp'assage 53, leadingto the'pilot-light, and the cocbplug, having at its th e light 'thereat is consequently turned down very low. Also by proper adjustment of the corresponding screw 47' the gas may then be turned off altogether from the pilot-light, if

desired.'

The not-n in tube 54'exte'nds up throng-:1

the globe-support 14, which has a notch at one side of openin'g 30'for this purpose, and

said pilot-light is .at one side of the main burner. seen in Figs. 3 and 12, a gas-tip 55, inelosed jin ,a'shield 56, having at its lower end a nip p16 .57 threaded on the tube 54 and provided Saidtube has at its upper end, as

inits side with a, glazed opening 58. The

shield 56 protects the minute jet which ordi- Jnarilyburns at the pilot-light tip from being blown out, and the glazed opening permits the lighter to readily see whether the pilotlight is burning'or not.

' The ring-shaped frame'9 for the dome 10, which latter is usually made from glass or porcelain, is formed with an annular ledge or part being arranged tofit in an annular groove reFe'iVe w ter running off the dome. Inside (said slanting part'GO the cr own has a raised annular head or flange 62 to prevent the wa-f ter in said chamber 61 from running down in side the 'crownfand in the bottom of chaniber-61 are form ed openingsj64, extended too .or' chamber 61, formed in the'upper fac the crown '6 and forming a'drip-jchamb'er to through to the under side of the crown and. r

stirrup 67, the lower ends of which are bent out inside the name beneat-h'the shoulder 59, j as shown at '68, and are 'held' by bolts 69 to said'fra-me. The central part of sti1rn) ')67 is bent "upwar'chas seen in Fig. l,'i'nside"the' dome, and serves to receive the threaded lower end of a tie-rod 70, extended'axially in andthrough the top or" the hood lland provided at its upper with an ornamental enlarge m'ent 71, below which is a shell 72, in which ishoused aspiral spring 73', held on rod '70 and having hearing on the topof hood ll to hold thehood presse lelastieally on the dome 19, said springserviug to compensate for 19v pension and contraction, and thus prevent cracking of the dome or looseningof the parts. The hood 71 has a bell-shaped upper part 74, the lower portion of which'has a circular seat 75, in which is held by rivets or the like,

and inside the hood, below the band 80, is held a perforated metal plate 81, the edges of which are held in a groove swaged in the walls of the hood. To center the hood upon the dome and hold these parts in proper relation, the upper partofthe dome inside the hood is formed with an undercut annular seat or channel 78, wherein is held, a spiral spring or equivalent packing 79, (see Figs. -1 and 14,) which fits snugly against the inner face of the l0wer part 77 of the hood and also affords compensation for expansion and con-' traction. r H I 82 indicates a deflector at the upper part of nets of combustion and having raised edge walls 84, to which are held, by boltsSG or equivalent means, flexible clips 85, which are extended upward and outward and havetheir' ehds bent in hook form, as shown at 87, so as to adapt them for engagement with the upper edge of the globe 16, from which the deflector is supported. The clips 85 being flexible are made to readily accommodate themselves to slight inequalities in the diameters of the globes. a spiral spring 88, is interposed between the inner edge of the crown 6 and the outer face of the globe 16 to accommodate irregularities in the sizes of globes and also to aiford an effectual guard to prevent insects from creeping into the lamp. The spring 88, as shown in Fig. 13, is held on a metal strip or wire 89, which is bent in circular form and arranged within the wire coil and supported at suitable intervals onwires or arms 90, extended down from the crown 6.

In connection withthe improved gas-lamp I employ a street-sign formed in sections '91, having lapped end portions 92 arranged outside the crown-supports 5 and secured to said supports by means of clips 93, as shown in Figs. 1, 13, 15, 16, and 17, bolts 94 being employed for connecting said lapped end portions to the clip. There is a bolt 94 at each side of the support 5, and each bolt is passed through both lapped ends 92, as shown in Figs. 16 and 7. Each section 91 has at its upper and lower edges and on its inner side channels 95, in which is held a strip 97, preferably of colored and transparent laid, for example-and the sections 91 are cut out, "as shown at 96, to produce letters form A packing, also in the form of materialsuch as cellu- 3 ingthestreet sign, which is seen through the celluloid strip 97 in colored-characters.

channels are extended along the lappetu ends92 of. sections 91, so as totake over the 1 ends of the el'ips9'3, as shown. in Figi' 17 whereby it will beseen that the sccti onsare locked i to theclips and'are'; prevented from falling downward even when .the screws or bolts 94 are removed, and can only be disengaged from Theconstruction of theinlproved lamp with the dome'ld-permits ofi lifting the globe 16. high enough without openingor swinging back the hinged dome-frame 9 to perxnitol adjusting or repairing the burner-or'of re placing the mantle thereof, and in ordcr' to 4 hold the globe in place when thus lifted I provide connections 99, preferably in the form of coiled-.wi re springs, as shown in Fig. l, haw ing hooks 100 at their ends, the hooksat the upper ends of. the connections being engaged with the raised edge wall 63of the crown and. those of thelower'eindsofthe 00111160110118 b ing adapted forl'en'gagement-with the lower edge .of the glo-be neck lfi when the globe is in raised position, asshown at :1: in Fig. 1.

From'tlie above description-of my im provementsit willbe' seen that the improved lampis ofa very'simple andinexpensive.pature and is of aeonstruction such as to moi-e especially adapt it for street or outdoor lighting, since-it requires but little trouble to light the mainburner and is capableof being readily repaired and cleaned. Also since the pilot-lightis constructed to burn at all times it is evident that a very material degree of protection is afforded to the trail incandescent mantle, it being unnecessary, or-

dinarily, for the lamp-lighter to even open the globe in order to light the lamp, so that the lighter is prevented from shaking or jarring the burner and mantle by accidentat contact of a torch.

A It will also be obvious from scriptionthat the device is capable of some modification without material departurefrom the principles and spirit of the invention, and for this reason I do not wish to be, understood as limiting myself to the precise form andarrangement of the several parts herein set forth, nordo I wish to limit myself to the embodiment of all of the several features of improvement in the one 1.. since his evident that one or more of the .improved features may be omitted without materially detracting from the advantages attendant on the employment or the remaining features.
